Hi. Has anyone been able to use whats app on vodafone? Mine is not working. I own nokia x2 00 and whats app's faq said to use vodafone mobile connect as the access point. But I only have vodafone live! I tried getting the VMC settings but those do not contain access point. So, if anyone has been able to use whats app on vodafone, then please mention your wap settins and apn and anything else you did for it.Thanks

It worked previously on docomo connection, but it stopped working after i switched to vodafone through mnp. It is stuck at number verification stage.

Most mobile network companies one way or the other don't want whatsapp to work. Previously about few months back whatsapp used to work flawlessly on any network but these past few weeks mobile companies are blocking the sms verification from whatsapp. And the reason obvious. Whatsapp is cutting on the sms usage and its a huge revenue loss.

@OP: Did you register for DND? There maybe chances that the Whatsapp verification SMS may've been interfered by that..

^DND doesn't blocks whatsapp verification message, at least it didn't do in my case.

I agree too, but that's the only reason i see for why OP din't get the verification message.

I had such issues on the same docomo no. when I shift from one rom to other.... but it may related to roms.
@OP In ur case u can un-install whatsapp but before that clear it's data & temp files & then install it again. That may resolve ur issue.

That's why I like Vodafone. Their customer service is very good. However I don't understand their reluctance to not use text modes of communication like emails to solve issues. They always want to call, even after I specify that I am interested in communicating via email only.

I think it was something like ACT VMC as sms to some number.

Amway, use www as apn and you will be fine.

I sent the sms and got vmc settings, but those are just web settings and not access point. VMC web settings doesnt work with vodafone live access point.

If you are a prepaid subscriber, just send ACT VMC to 144 (toll free) and you will be activated on a zero rental plan with which you can surf VMC at 10p/10KB

For Nokia & Sony Ericsson phone, find out your handset IMEI number, by pressing *#06# on the phone's standby screen or by checking the same from phone's body panel under the battery bay.
The IMEI number may be of 15 or 16 digits - identify the first 15digits and send an sms to 52586 with text as S < space >1st 15 digits of the IMEI number
After sending the above sms, send "VMC" as an sms to 52586 to get the OTA settings, and save the setting you receive.
If you do not have a Nokia or Sony Ericsson phone, you´ll need to set your phone manually with these details:

Okay, got this solved. Follow these steps if you face such issue:

1. Send "VMC" as an SMS to 52586.
2. Saved the received "Vodafone Connect" web settings.
3. Set the received settings as default settings.
4. Manually create a new access point with following parameters:

a. Account name: Vodafone VMC APN
b. Packet data access point: www
c. Network type: IPv4
d. Authentication type: Normal
e. Username: <blank>
f. Password: <blank>

5. Save this access point and set it as the default access point.

6. Select "Use default in all apps".

Whats App will now work.
